Staff at Hard Rock Cafe Vienna will be dusting down their catsuits and donning fake moustaches to become Freddie For A Day on Tuesday 5 September 2017. This annual celebration of the rock legend’s life aims to raise funds and awareness for the Mercury Phoenix Trust and the fight against AIDS and HIV.

Freddie For A Day, now in its seventh year, is a fundraising initiative through the Mercury Phoenix Trust which encourages friends and fans around the world to spend the day dressed as the one-and-only Freddie Mercury on what would have been his 71st birthday.

For one day only customers and staff at Hard Rock Cafe Vienna are invited to join in on a day full of Queen music, charity moustaches, 1+1 free cocktails (for those dressed up!), karaoke, a display of the original outfit worn by Freddie Mercury in the Vienna Stadthalle in 1984, the Austrian Queen Fan Club’s presentation of the new book by Brian May “Queen In 3-D”, and a tombola with awesome prizes! Additionally, all Hard Rock original Legendary Burgers ordered on the 5th of September will be served up with a special Freddie moustache on top!
